The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

There was a channel called "Victor Talking Machine" and he had a huge variety of really neat records and some really nice phonographs. I tried to access his channel a while ago and it said it had gone private.

Does anyone know who this was and why he went private?

I don't know for sure but my guess is that he was asked to take it down by the new owner of the Victor Talking Machine trademarks (including the word 'Victrola'). See the March issue of The Antique Phonograph for information about the 'rebirth' of VTM. The name is again being used on recordings, like the CD below, with a logo showing Nipper listening to his master's voice on an MP3 player.

Sure wish whoever got hold of those copyrights would've revived the label to be what it used to be. I just looked up that artist and the label seems very inappropriate for their style.

Sad really
